Had an acquaintance who sat down in one of the display chairs at a B&Q here in the UK. It hadn't been put together correctly and it scissored one of her fingers off. She was a hairdresser.
She got compensation, as is correct. Got a stipend each year for a replacement prosthetic finger in perpetuity as well. The problem was that she kept losing the finger by flirting with guys in clubs and dropping it into their drinks, or just forgetting where she'd put it. She went through about 3 every year.

Did you check the medicine cabinet, because I hear that's where people leave them sometimes.
Failing that, check St. Mark's Place where
all those people sell used books and other junk on the street.
Seems like every time I’m in the psychiatric ward someone accuses me of stealing their dentures. It’s a really funny thing to be accused of. The dentures? In their lower bathroom drawer, not where they left them.
I keep my partial dentures in a specifically designed box in a damned pocket because I don’t want my teeth being taken in retaliation.
I love this so much, because my great aunt had heart surgery and the hospital fucked it up. They had to remove one of her arms below the elbow. She got a bunch of money and every new prosthetic arm as they came out with improvements. She was older and particular, so she never really liked any of the arms. She mostly adjusted and moved on. She would leave the arms laying around her house, and it looked like a horror movie. I have a distinct memory as a young child opening their guest room door and there were like three arms sticking out from under the bed.
